Metricool pays 25% recurring commission (Tier 1), rising to 50% recurring (Tier 2) after 200 paid conversions — capped at $100/user (Tier 1) or $300/user (Tier 2) per period, through a referral link that already sits inside the product, with no application.

The referred customer gets access to metricool's social media scheduling and analytics platform. Verified 26 Aug 2026 from Metricool's own published material.

Your commission
25% recurring commission (Tier 1), rising to 50% recurring (Tier 2) after 200 paid conversions — capped at $100/user (Tier 1) or $300/user (Tier 2) per period
Confirmed on metricool.com/affiliate-program/: two-tier structure. Tier 1 ("Associate") is automatic for every Metricool account and pays 25% of the referred subscription, capped at $100 per user. Tier 2 ("Partner") pays 50%, capped at $300 per user, and requires 200 paid conversions to unlock, then 100 further paid registrations within any 12-month window to retain. Commissions are recurring for the life of the subscription, not one-time.
Customer incentive

Important
The uncapped-duration, no-expiry cookie and automatic enrollment are genuinely unusual and publisher-friendly. But the per-user dollar cap ($100 or $300) means the effective rate drops sharply on higher-priced Advanced/Custom plans — a $159/mo Advanced subscriber still only earns the affiliate a fraction of 25-50% once the cap is hit. The $200 minimum payout is higher than many competitors.
Self-referral policy is not published; assume standard prohibition until confirmed. Exact mechanism/timing for the 100-registrations-per-12-months Tier 2 retention rule (rolling window vs. anniversary) is not detailed on the public page. No third-party network is used, so there is no independent dashboard/reporting standard to cross-check against.
Recommended — for Posting videos daily to YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram/Facebook from one calendar without paying per seat
Priced by connected brand rather than by team seat, so a solo creator or small team posting daily across three-plus video platforms doesn't pay a per-user tax as the team grows. Built-in analytics and competitor tracking are genuinely useful for a daily-posting cadence — no separate analytics tool needed the way Buffer requires add-ons for deeper reporting.
BufferMore reliable at actually publishing on time with fewer failed uploads, but its API access to YouTube Shorts (no thumbnail/tag control) and analytics depth are thinner — better if reliability matters more than in-platform reporting.
HootsuiteMore comprehensive overall (AI drafting, team workflows, more integrations) but priced and built for larger teams; overkill and pricier for a single creator or small team's daily posting workflow.
LaterWeaker on analytics and publishing depth for video specifically, with no social listening — fine for a visual-first Instagram calendar, less suited to a YouTube/TikTok-heavy daily cadence.
Video-upload rough edges have been reported: no thumbnail/description control for YouTube Shorts, TikTok captions can lose formatting on publish, and Instagram Reels uploads have occasionally been flagged for file size. Worth testing your actual upload workflow on the free tier before committing to a paid plan.

What you would be selling

A recurring social-media-scheduling affiliate program that removes the usual application friction — every signup is instantly a paying-eligible affiliate — paired with a permanent attribution cookie, in exchange for a hard per-user dollar cap on commission.
